Mixing On Headphones
The Score Magazine
|November 2017
A question that I often get from a lot my students is whether they can mix on headphones.
While monitors have their own advantages, my answer is yes. There is no hard and fast rule and as long as you understand and recognise the frequency response of your headphones, mixing on them can give you really good results, be it an entire song, a voice-over or even some basic two track effects laying. The cost effectiveness involved in mixing with using headphones is also another important factor to consider. The main aspects that you’ll have to consider while mixing on headphones are
1. Portability
Well, many of us cannot afford to buy a pair of studio monitors or have the appropriate space to accommodate a pair at our home studio setup. As a result, investing money in a trusty pair of headphones is the most logical and, almost always, the cheapest solution to the problem. Having a pair of headphones also allows you to mix and produce on the go.
